The Caldaro High Path is a moderately difficult mountain bike tour that is ideal for experienced cyclists. This approximately 10 km circular route starts and ends at the sports facilities in the Altenburg Forest in Kaltern a.d.W. With an elevation difference of about 322 m and an estimated riding time of about 1 ½ hours, the route offers a challenging yet rewarding experience. The trail mainly consists of gravel and leads over wide, traffic-free forest roads, including an initial climb of about 10% over approximately 5 km.

The tour starts just before the Altenburg Forest, near the sports facilities. Turn right onto the forest road towards Ziegelstadl (trail no. 521). After about 2.5 km, just before Ziegelstadl, turn right onto the Caldaro High Path (St. Anton forest road). Once on the ridge, continue on the same forest road, which descends steadily, makes a large loop, and leads back to the starting point.
